WE HAVE A DAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!

On Friday, May 11, 2012 our lives changed forever! We got the call that we've been waiting for! Amy from Bethany called Charlie, and they tried to call me at school. I was unable to answer my school phone in time so Amy told Charlie that he was going to be a daddy! Charlie then called my cell phone. I finally got to the phone, and Charlie was telling me that I should've gone to choir so I would know what we were singing Sunday. I didn't get what he was saying... Then I thought he was telling me about someone joining the choir. He finally told me I was going to church on Monther's Day, and my response was, "NO I'M NOT!" Mother's Day at church has been extrememly hard for 4 years. He then said, "You are going to church on Mother's Day because you are going to be a Mama!" I remember asking if he was sure, and then the screaming and jumping up and down began! At some point, I hung up on Charlie. Haha My sweet, sweet friends at school were coming down the hall to find out what in the world was going on! There were many tears and a bunch of hugging! I then ran up and down the halls telling my other friends who didnt know yet! I ended up leaving shcool after telling my precious students! Charlie and I then began planning how we would tell our parents and family. That part was so much fun! There is a video on Facebook from telling just a couple people. Since the big day, we've registered for items that Libby will need and some that are just cute and PINK! We've filled out a TON, and I mean A LOT A LOT of paperwork, taken 5 online classes each, gotten paperwork ready for passports, painted Libby's room, and more! On May 26th, Amy will visit our home to finish up our international homestudy. Then we file immigration paperwork. Please help us pray that the paperwork process for immigration will go smoothly and quicker than the estimated 90 days. :) Please help us pray about all the stinky money stuff. We're unsure how much an international adoption will cost and traveling expenses. God has provided so far, and we will continue to trust in Him! He's already provided us both with a little extra work! YAY!!!!!!!!! So now instead of praying for "Little Leonard" you can pray for Libby Rose KitYing Leonard! Thank you all so much who have been in prayer for a child for us. :) Please keep those prayers comin'! Libby's Mama
